The FreeBSD installation kernel supports an unlimited number of SCSI disks, tapes, and cdroms right out of the box. Only the number of controllers in the GENERIC kernel is usually limited to one SCSI controller per supported driver. It's possible that there are device nodes missing (hence the `MAKEDEV' advice), but the _driver_ support for more disks is there. This discrepancy will disappear as soon as `devfs' is fully operational. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
